Here’s everything you need to know about the Rose Ladies Series…
What is the Rose Ladies Series?
While the Ladies European Tour stars waited to hear if they will have any more tournaments to play in 2020, Justin Rose and wife Kate decided to take matters into their own hands – and pockets.
The pair put their name and money behind a series of women’s events to give British professionals playing opportunities throughout June and July of that year.
The inaugural Justin Rose Ladies Series featured seven one-day tournaments followed by a three-day, 54-hole grand final held at North Hants, the Berkshire, and Wentworth.
The Roses contributed £35,000 in prize money, while American Golf and Computacenter UK matched the total as title sponsors. All 10 golf clubs offered their facilities for free.
When setting up the tournament, 2013 US Open champion Rose explained: “I am keenly aware that I now have the opportunity to go back to work and compete on the PGA Tour but this is not the same for the ladies and some junior tours as well.
Despite the return to action on the LET and LPGA, the Rose Ladies Series continued each year and is now in its fourth season.

Grand Final: Wentworth
Winner: Alice Hewson
Order of Merit winner: Charley Hull
Charley Hull won the Rose Ladies Series Order of Merit after the three-day Grand Final was cancelled midway through the final round as wildfires raged near Wentworth.
Play was suspended when fires on nearby Chobham Common crept over the railway line that runs alongside the West course’s 9th hole and near the 10th tee.
The 10th tee is the furthest point from the clubhouse on the huge Wentworth estate and players were brought in while the emergency services worked on controlling the fire. NCG spoke to a player involved who said everyone was in and safe.
Organisers announced soon after that play was suspended for the day and will resume on Saturday, but the Major Incident Command Centre ruled that the course would need to be closed indefinitely and the decision was made to end the Series after the second round of the Grand Final.
A statement read that they “worked through the night to find a suitable alternative date for both the venue and players” but “with the imminent recommencement of a packed LET and LPGA schedule it proved impossible to do”.
Alice Hewson, who led the at the 36-hole stage as well as the time of suspension, was handed the £10,000 first prize, while Hull wins £20,000 for topping the Order of Merit.
